I found this when it was just a prickly twig and now that it's getting leafed out I can confirm my guess as to it's identity - a greenbriar (or greenbrier), Smilax spp. perhaps rotundifolia.
Research says it's good to eat but you must harvest the young soft parts before the sharp spines harden. I think I'll pass for now, thank you.
